Lynch unhappy with Bohs draw decisions

Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch was left frustrated with key refereeing decisions in his side's 1-1 draw with Bohemians, particularly regarding two controversial incidents.

Derry City manager Tiernan Lynch expressed dissatisfaction with several key decisions during his side's 1-1 draw away to Bohemians. The Candystripes were reduced to 10 men when Adam O'Reilly received a second yellow card, while Lynch questioned why Patrick Hickey wasn't sent off for handling the ball in the penalty area when Dipo Akinyemi appeared through on goal. cat-cross.com

"I've watched both incidents back now and I just can't see where that second yellow card came from," Lynch told BBC Sport NI. "The last man through on goal, catches the ball, throws it behind him and it's a yellow card. I probably need that explained to me." James Olayinka gave Derry the lead before Marcus Strods equalized for Bohemians, with captain Michael Duffy making a return from injury as a substitute.
